Maintenance Technician
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to parse content.
Content includes:
- Company description (MGP Ingredients...). Could be "About the company" but not required. Could be "About the role" maybe.
- "THE OPPORTUNITY We are looking for a Maintenance Technician to join our team in St. Louis, MO." That's about the role.
- Then "What You Will Be Doing" list.
- Then "Who We Are Looking For" list.
- Then "INTERVIEW PROCESS:" details.
- Then culture paragraph.
- Then "Compensation is competitive and is commensurate with experience." That's pay but vague; we should not include Pay section if it's just "commensurate with experience" (that's placeholder). So we should not create Pay section.
- Benefits: "MGP offers exceptional medical, dental, vision, short and long-term disability, life insurance, 401(k) Match and PTO." That's specific benefits, so we can include Benefits section.
- Schedule: not mentioned.
- Pay: not specific.
- Also mention "During onboarding, new employees will be provided all hand tools to be successful in the role." Could be part of Benefits or maybe "What You Will Be Doing"? Not needed.
- Also mention background check etc repeated.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to format using for sections, - for lists,
for prose.
We need to decide sections:
Potential sections:
- About the role (or maybe "About the position") containing the opportunity paragraph and location.
- Responsibilities (What You Will Be Doing)
- Requirements / Qualifications (Who We Are Looking For) maybe combine.
- Benefits
- Interview Process (maybe as a section? Not in list but we could add a custom heading? The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those. Interview Process could be under "Requirements"? Not ideal. Could be its own section but not in list; maybe we can treat as "Requirements"? No. Could omit? But we need to preserve all substantive info. Could include as a
under a generic section like "Additional Information". But instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could incorporate interview process into a section like "Selection Process" but not in examples. Might be okay to add a custom heading? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say you cannot use other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to use those headings only. Could we fit interview process under "Requirements"? Not really. Could we put under "About the role"? Maybe add a paragraph after responsibilities.
We could create a section "About the role" that includes opportunity, responsibilities, interview process, etc. But then we would lose separate headings for responsibilities etc. However we need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to output lists for duties and requirements. Those could be under headings "Responsibilities" and "Requirements". So we need those headings.
Thus we will have:
About the role
... opportunity paragraph ...
Responsibilities
- ... list items ...
Requirements
- ... list items ...
Benefits
- ... list items ...
Actually - ...
We might also include a short paragraph about company description maybe under About the role or separate "About the company". Not required but could be included as part of About the role.
We need to preserve all substantive info: company description, location, etc.
Let's extract:
Company description: "MGP Ingredients is a leading supplier of premium distilled spirits and food ingredient solutions. Its Distilling Solutions segment provides bourbons, whiskeys, ryes, gins, and vodkas to craft and multinational brands. MGP's own Branded Spirts business is growing following the 2021 acquisition of Luxco, a top spirits producer, bottler, supplier, and importer as well as the 2023 acquisition of Penelope Bourbon, known for its wide range of uniquely blended expressions. Ingredient Solutions delivers nutritional, functional wheat- and pea-based ingredients aligned with consumer trends.

Interview Process: steps.
We could include interview process as a paragraph under About the role or maybe as its own section "Selection Process". But not in examples. Might be okay to add a custom heading? The instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those. Could we incorporate interview process into About the role paragraph? Yes we can add a paragraph after the opportunity paragraph describing interview process.
Benefits list:
- exceptional medical, dental, vision, short and long-term disability, life insurance, 401(k) Match and PTO.

Culture paragraph: Could be included under About the role or maybe as its own section "Company Culture". Not in list but could be under About the role.
We need to avoid repeating boilerplate: repeated background check etc appears twice; we should include only once.
Now construct HTML.
We'll start with About the role
then a
containing company description + opportunity + location + interview process + culture? Might be too long but okay.
Better to split: About the role paragraph includes company description and opportunity. Then maybe a separate paragraph for interview process and culture under same heading? Could add multiple
under same heading.
We'll do:
